Which of the following properties is not necessary to make a good plasmid cloning vector? Select one:
a. Single recognition site for each restriction endonucleases to be used in cloning
b. High copy number
c. Selection marker
d. Fertility
e. Small size
Answer :) option d
Restriction sites are important to insert a required sequence. A high copy number gives a high amount of replicated sequence. The selection marker is important to select the plasmid containing cells. Small size is preferable because it can carry the big size of an insert.
However, fertility is not a measure of having good plasmid cloning vector because bacteria can grow by binary fission and does not require fertility factor in the plasmid. Therefore, option d is the correct answer.

R-plasmids have which ONE of the following properties: A. Are less than 10 kb in size B. Contain antibiotic resistance genes and are self-transmissible C. Have a high copy number D. Are mobilizable but not self-transmissible E. Are commonly used for cloning recombinant DNA
Cloning 2
Below is the restriction map of a 10 kb piece of DNA. Also shown
below is a cloning vector which has two unique restriction enzyme
recognition sites, one for EcoRI (E) and one for HindIII (H). The
location of the kanamycin (kan) and ampicillin (amp) resistance
genes is also shown. Kanamycin and ampicillin are antibiotics that
are commonly used to select transformed E. colicells (consult the
Lab Manual for more information). Note that the HindIII site is
located...
Chromosomal and plasmid DNA can be cut into manageable pieces by
restriction enzymes. Using agarose gel electrophoresis, the DNA
fragments can be separated on a gel, based on their lengths. In
order to see the fragments, a stain is typically added to the gel.
The size of each fragment can be determined by comparing each one
to a DNA molecular weight marker of known size.
Below is a map of pBR22 plasmid. The position and base pair
number of the...
